Pack Light!

Most people will never travel with as little as I do, and that’s completely fine. But if you’ve ever dragged an overstuffed suitcase through a cobbled street, paid a surprise baggage fee at the gate, or spent the first hour of a trip hunting for a left-luggage locker, you’ll know lighter is better.

I’ve been packing light for over 30 years, and I travel often. There’s no single right answer, and what works for me won’t work for everyone. But the principles are the same: take it one category at a time, be honest about what you actually use, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Small changes add up quickly.

Whether you want to ditch the checked bag, streamline what you already carry, or just stop repacking the night before every trip, you’re in the right place.

Helping You Travel More With Less

I like to keep my bag the size of a day pack, weighing no more than 6 kg. I love the freedom this brings, and paying for one under-seat bag on budget airlines is great too.
